Inside, you can join a tour and the guide will tell you all kinds of details of the building that was supposed to house ministries, high functionaries, and Communist Party offices. It has been nicknamed Madman's house, but also, mistakenly, referred to as Ceaușescu Palace although it was never his intention to use it as such. Nicolae had a serious problem and wanted everything to be bigger, longer, higher, wider. To achieve this, nothing was spared. All materials came from Romania, and some parts (notably, stairs) had to be rebuilt several times simply because the Ceaușescu's were not happy. In the construction, the superiority of this sick couple was to come out clearly. At present, the building is being used as a Parliament Palace and for all kinds of gatherings.
